Woot I got my moth today the box was by my door damn the y have fast service

Yeah the guy is right up there in Carlsbad so it was probably one day. Pretty sweet huh? Now get building! I bet if you have everything available to you you'll be able to finish it by Sunday.

There are a few different methods for covering the fuse. What I found to be the easiest, cheapest, and the quickest, was to goop the bare foam with several coats, strapping tape it, goop over that, then I used this stuff called PlastiDip. It's a spray on synthetic rubber coating that you can find at Home Depot for about $4-5. Super cheap and the bottle you get will be more than enough, so you have room for repairs should the need arise. After the Plasti-dip I put on one more coat of goop and it was done. Fairly light and very strong. If it rips or tears, rub it down with a little xylene/toluene and spray on some more. Works great.

I picked up the servos tonight at hobby people...HS-65MG .....31.00 apiece...I am all set for building now...You guys have saved me from not buying the wrong servos as I hate having to dig them out when they bust lol

Looks like I'll be going to Blossom then. I don't want to drive all the way up to Dave's Beach area. Too far.

Might be able to DS at Blossom a little bit, there's a small spot that's a short walk away from the rugs. James has some videos of him DSing at that spot. I tried it once with my Weasel looong ago but didn't have much success. My weasel didn't hold energy very well though.

Edit: Oh yea, I got the new receiver that James suggested me and it range checked to over 100 feet without glitching at all...good stuff!

Could you tell me what reciever you bought? I might buy a new one for the moth.

It's a Dymond D62011 (that's what i said on the box, couldn't find it on google or anything though). I bought it at Discount Hobby Warehouse over on Clairemont Mesa Blvd just off of Convoy St. $27 + $6 for a crystal (standard size).
